Summary: Delightfully Fun film!
Review: Reese Witherspoon proves she's a box office Champ with this funny little comic gem. If there were any doubts about this woman's ability to carry a movie on her shoulder's, Legally Blonde blows those doubts out of the water.While certainly not shakespeare, the film wisely doesn't take itself too seriously. Whitherspoon absolutely shines as Elle Woods, the sorority girl whose journey to Harvard proves never to doubt the ability to rise above expectations. It's a warm-hearted little film that manages to eek out a few laughs. And the extras on this make this DVD a steal!

Summary: A little deeper than you might think.....
Review: This movie is First and Foremost meant to entertain. It makes droll and not very subtle fun of several stereotypical groups of people. BUT it does so with lightness and fun and I'm sure you will be able to tell those who take themselves too seriously by their reaction to this movie. I LOVED it (no, I'm not blonde, rich, super smart, gay, a society girl, trailer trash OR a lawyer)! And I'll try to tell you why I love this movie in under 1000 words. Reece Witherspoon portrays Elle Woods(blonde, California college girl and fashion major just looking to get married as quick as possible to the man of her dreams) with such a deft touch that one would think she IS that girl--if they hadn't seen some of her other film work. Elle loves Warner Huntington III whose plans for the future are law school at Harvard and then politics and a "serious" minded finance/wife. Beautiful Elle doesn't fit the image, so Warner dumps her---On Valentine's Day....during dinner at a lovely restaurant....where Elle Thought he was going to propose!! OOOOH....if there is one lesson guys should learn from this movie it is: Don't mess with a beautiful blonde on the Holy Grail of Romance Days or you could live to regret it. In usual Elle fashion, she deduces that in order to 'get' her man, all she has to do is go to Harvard Law and so she proceeds to plan B. Just....Nail down an acceptable SAT, video a killer essay to Wow the admissions committee and accomplish it all without breaking a nail. Before you can say "Let's shop for whole new wardrobe" Elle is at Harvard asking for her Activities and Mixers schedule. Favorite moment: When Elle gets chosen to be on Callahan's legal team for a high profile murder trial. You can practically see Elle changing from ditzy dreamer to determined achiever. There are so many well crafted performers I had a harder time than usual picking favorites. However, two that really shine for me are: Jennifer Coolidge as Elle's friend and manicurist, Paulette Bonafonté and Holland Taylor's turn as Professor Stromwell. Luke Wilson was perfect for Emmett (he does 'nice, decent guy' so well) Legally Blonde is an affirmation that people can generally do a lot of the things that are important to them. And that most are capable of doing more AND better if they will just try! It's a feel good movie that I love to watch. I highly recommend it!

Summary: A light, funny movie.
Review: This movie is not extremely deep but is very funny and enjoyable. Reece Witherspoon is, once again, very charming and funny in this light and funny comedy. If you want to have a good time I absolutely recommend this film.

Summary: ¿Clueless with brains¿
Review: This is not a fantastic film however it is much better than I predicted, only the elaboration of a very basic plot makes the film work. It begins with Elle, (Reese Witherspoon) a college student who anticipates receiving a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis). Unfortunately Warner has bigger plans and wishes to study law at Harvard University and only has plans to break up their relationship. In order to prove that she is not just a stereotypical blonde bimbo with no brains, Elle successfully applies to Harvard whereby she attempts to charm over her ex-boyfriend by proving that she has the brains as well as the body. Apart from annoying girls obsessed with shopping and beauty parlours (hence my connection with Clueless) and the part of Elle being overwhelmingly irritating the film does have some comical parts. During the film you can also play a game of spot the instantly recognisable B-list actor. You will find yourself shouting aloud: - "oh that's the guy from 'Titanic'" (Victor Garber) and "oh he's from hmm can't remember" (Luke Wilson)...and "oh wasn't he in 'Bring it on'" (Richard Hillman). "Oh, oh and she was in Final Destination" (Ali Larter). Many have congratulated Reese Witherspoon on a splendid performance in this film, but I'm not quite entirely sure she was not just playing herself. I have seen her similar style of acting in American Psycho and one does have to wonder. Nevertheless it is better than your average teen flick film but is not cracked up to be one to remember.

Summary: Funny
Review: Love this movie I so think Reese was right for the part. It was just a movie that all of us need something new to the movies these days. Ryan should be very proud. This is a movie for the whole family to see. The movie I saw her in before this was Cruel Intention which was a great movie and I do think you need both of them in your movie collection. It such a chick flick but who cares it's a great movie and a great performance by Ms. Witherspoon. She got by vote if she ever ran for president.

Summary: Simple and sometimes funny
Review: This played out like a big fantasy. And sometimes there's nothign wrong with that and other times it seems like there is. Maybe it was the squealing men and women over this film, the envy of wanting to be blonde and all that stereotype connotes that added to my feelings of this film. I understand the whole blonde "thing" and there were points where this movie is funny. Do I think it's sequel worthy? No, not really. This one film spent so much time catering to Reese Witherspoon------who doesn't exactly thrill me as an actress here, thoguh she did in Election----that it was hard to get out of the bubblegum feeling about this whole thing. Sometimes bubblegum is too sticky

Summary: "The 'bend and snap' works every time!"
Review: "Legally Blonde" was one of the funniest films released in 2001. The film stars the very talented Reese Witherspoon (known also for her role in the 1998 film "Pleasantville") as sorority-queen Elle Woods, who majored in college in fashion merchandising. The film begins with Elle being dumped by her boyfriend Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), who plans to attend the prestigious Harvard Law School. Determined to be with Warner, Elle decides to take the L.S.A.T. so that she can apply to Harvard Law School herself. After studying harder than she has ever done in her life, Elle passes the L.S.A.T. and films an introductory video of herself to send with her application to Harvard Law School. The Admissions Committee at Harvard Law School approves and Elle begins her journey into a new life at Harvard. Elle's vivacious, naive, sorority-party attitude doesn't exactly fit the typical Harvard Law School student. However, after Elle meets Warner's snobbish fiancée, Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair), she is befriended by a poorly educated manicurist, Paulette Bonafonté (Jennifer Coolidge), who inspires Elle to become a more serious law student. The film takes some unexpected turns as Elle is propelled into world of jurisprudence and the court of law. Memorable scenes in the film include Elle's first law school class with Professor Stromwell (Holland Taylor), Elle's revealing costume, Elle explaining the dynamics of the "bend and snap" to Paulette, and Elle explaining perm maintenance in a courtroom. Other wonderful characters include Emmett (Luke Wilson), Professor Callahan (Victor Garber), Brooke Taylor Windham (Ali Larter), the UPS Guy (Bruce Wilson), Enrique (Greg Serano), Chutney Windham (Linda Cardellini) and a brief appearance by Raquel Welch as Mrs. Windham Vandermark. "Legally Blonde" is an engaging and endearing comedy whose success resulted not only from a great story, but also the talents of Reese Witherspoon for making a fashion merchandising major turned law student plausible. Overall, I rate "Legally Blonde" with a much-deserved 5 out of 5 stars. I hope that its sequel to be released in July 2003 ("Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde". also starring Reese Witherspoon) will be equally as funny and further demonstrate Elle Woods' passion for the study and practice of law.

Summary: The real legally blond
Review: The real women who legally blond is based on was from Maryland and sued the university when they wouldn't let her hang a confederate flag up outside the window of her dormitory. its sad that someone who is obnoxious as that is making money off the selling of her "story"

Summary: I love Reese Witherspoon : )
Review: Let me just say that I have never seen a movie succeed just by riding on the charm of it's lead actress. Reese Witherspoon is just just fantastic as Elle Woods. She is in pretty much every scene of this movie and I can tell you, that's always a good thing. The plot, well I don't really think there is one, is so simplistic that reading it on paper makes you cringe. A sorority sister gets dumped by her boyfriend so she follow him to Harvard Law School to win him back. Hmm, how did this movie get the go ahead, that's what I want to know. So having been giving a thin (that's an understatement) plot and a fluffy character to play, Reese Witherspoon once again rises above all odds and gives us a suprisingly funny movie and a 3 dimensional character in Elle. What you say, how the hell did that happen, well it's Reese. This character could have been annoying as hell with her valley girl talk and perkiness, but Reese made it a joy to watch. You really do fall in love with her, she's just so damn likeable. You also care for Elle, which is odd considering she's a shallow, somewhat spoilt, rich sorority sister. You want her to succeed. All in all, this movie is about Elle and her overcoming the odds in the world of Harvard Law School. It's about her believing in herself and knowing that she can succeed. It's a typical "don't judege a book by it's cover" type movie. This movie succeeds without a doubt because of Reese, without her this movie would have been another straight-to-video movie. Don't expect anything profound in this movie, it's fluff at it's finest. A thoroughly enjoyable movie lead by a wonderful lead actress. If you were not a fan of Reese before, you will be after this. I dare you not to fall in love with Reese Witherspoon.
